RISK

A risk level 2 investor should be prepared to accept annual returns somewhere within the range of a -5.51% loss and a 11.53% gain — returns within this range would be expected 95% of the time. It should be remembered that there is a 5% chance that risk level 2 portfolios will experience an annual return outside this range — this means an investor may experience losses greater than -5.51% or gains greater than 11.53%
at some point(s) during their investment in one year.
